Stunt Driving Ticket

In 2007 a new section was added to the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario: Stunt Driving (Contest). A Stunt Driving charge is intended to stop, through enforcement, races, contest and stunts from being preformed on Ontario’s Highways.

Stunt Driving charges are laid without discretion and have the effect of tripling your insurance. Fortunately, in many cases a Stunt Driving ticket can be successfully defended in court, and that is where we at Ticket Defenders®* can help you: we know how to examine these cases, assess them, and then create the best possible defence. We are often in a position to save our clients points and thousands of dollars in fines and insurance.

At Ticket Defenders®*, we are aware that every case is unique, and we are here to help you.
